To tu whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY HAn'rzELL WAUGH, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Brook] '11, in the county of Kings and State of Nework, have vinvented a new and useful, Bottle-Heater S ecialiy Designedfor the Ra"'id Heating ofp Nursing-Bottles, of which t e following is aspecification.

This invention relates to a bottle-heater of the nature of a wat-cnbath,and has for its object .to provide a heater so constructed that aquantity of Water will fill the heater and cover the body of the bottleand during the heating will cause a vertical or shaking motion to beimparted to the bottle and its contents, such a construction enablingthe water heater to be heated in a very short time. y

To this end the present invention consists in the construction,combination, and an rangement of parts set forth in and falling t in thescope of the appended claims.

In the cross-sectional view of m bottle therein, such bottlb elevation.

'Referrm' g new to` the accompanying drawetai drawing the ligure shows avertical device having a being shown in ing in Vd the letter A indicatesa. tubular member, preferably cylindrical in form, which is made slarger in cross diameter than ghtl the bottle to ge heated, and near endsuch a member is formed with an inwar extending bead or rib C, designedto prevent its up or tiie bottle from contacting with and lying flat i aeinst the side of the cylindrical member.Y ear the lower end of thetubular or c lindricai member which is preferably slightly larger thanthe E is designed for the ose as the rib Chthat is, to revent t `e ottlelying iiat against the si e of the cylinder g but" 'addition tothisfunction it assists in causing the vertical motion to be y by reasonof aemfact that when the steam rapidly generated in the baseand'partiallynconfined by the groove forces the bottle up slightly the sace be; tween the -ooveand the bottie W11 be increased, a owing the easypassage of the slightly-compressed steam and a free iiowof water mto thebasel' Especially is this when the bottle is constructed as shown in thepresent drawing, with the lower-portion of its ody sli htl `tapered orinclined inwardly toward tie y ase. The vertical shakin mod tion whichis imparted to the bottle Wi agi- I provide ahead or ri E,

vface on wh'mh the base of the bottle y l "ed to rest, a relativciyVnarrow tubularIndire` l structing tate the contents of the latter, andthus cause a more rapid heatin of the same.

The base F, which is connected to the tubular member A, is hollow, andcomparatively shallow, and the lower plate thereof, to which the heat isappiied, is slightl spaced apart from the upper portion thereo and isrovided with corrugations or depressions the Water contents enteringbetween the 11p-- per and lower plates of the base,such corrugationsalso preventing the accidental forcing of theV upper plate flat againstthe lower one and in addition increases sur ace and prevents the bottomof the bottle from contacting with the lowest art of the lower plate,inasmuch as such bott e will rest upon one 'of the inwardlyrejecting orraised surfaces of the corrugate part. i

The handle of the device is shown at D, while the water-chamber formedat the base is designated by the letter N. In the present instancel haveshown a bottle B of a certainpreferably made broad, 6c

the heating- 7o construction; but iii-,will of course be under- 8o stoodthat'there may be modification and variation in construction of mydevice, so as to enable it to receive an characterpf bottle. `v Havingthus describe my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure byLetters Rebent, s-V

' 1. A bottle-heater havi a relatively wide base member com osedofIplate-like members l spaced apart to crm a Water-chamberkand..

provided with a corrugated portionfanda 9o relatively narrow tubularmember connected to said base, andy communicati therewith. 2. 'Abottle-heater having a .lllatively wide base member formed withrWater-cham'b a tubniarmember connected to and in co munication with saidbase and ada. ted to receive a bottle,-

xnean's on the interior of .the tubular member forpreventing thel but,tlc f rom contact' orjlymg ilatug'ainst the side walls of the iliiulermember, and te x tiall "confine steam ascia between thesides of thebottle and t e sices of the tubular" member.
